- Most important lessons learnt from hajj – equality of believers in eyes of God irrespective of one’s race, colour, language, culture or socio-economic status
- White supremacy group had a torch-lit rally in Charlottesville, which ended in violent clashes, with injuries and one death
- US President Trump also immediately condemned acts carried out by minorities, but said he wants to wait for reports when it comes to white supremacists
- Previous presidents have condemned the acts. Business circle of the USA have distanced themselves from the President and his ideologies
- Quoting Malcom X, and his statement mentioning how Islam erases lines of racism
- In the past, most Shi'as lived and died within their own geographical and ethnic environment, however now everyone is exposed to all kinds of races, cultures, languages etc, and there should be acceptance
- Looking at the actions of one individual or a small group, is not justification to judge an entire culture or larger group as a whole
- False accusations or using a broad brush is considered zulm
 
"President Trump wasted no time condemning terrorists coming from minorities. But for Virginia riots, he wanted to wait for reports. And when he spoke, blame was laid on both sides. North America may be very advanced on almost every front; but when it comes to social issues, this society still struggles."
